I'm frequently asked about prices in Centre County. Most people believe that prices are falling because that is what they hear and read in the media. The reality in our area is a bit different from what the media reports.

Following is a chart detailing the average selling price for residential homes in Centre County. If you have any questions about the market or need help buying or selling feel free to give me a call at 814-280-0054. you can check out my site at www.BuyStateCollege.com or www.statecollegePArealestate.blogspot.com or www.activerain.com/topguntim.

So the market is changing in Clinton County Real Estate. A local real estate office is moving into State College and Centre County (Davis), a Centre County company is buying a Lock Have office (Fish), and many people have seen the beautiful new Keller Williams signs sprouting in front yards all over the area.

In the business world you either change or die, grow or shrink, there is no status quo. And change has come to Lock Haven and Clinton County in a big way with respect to real estate.

If you are thinking about selling and need an expert that can market your property and provide you with exposure to the lucrative Centre County market give Tim Rogers a call at Keller Williams Realty at 814-280-0054. I have a great understanding of the local market and can get your home the exposure it needs to the largest group of potential buyers in order to sell it fast.

That is the question I get on almost a daily basis as we head into the busy selling season in our area. Without using the fancy chart of the bell curve I will tell you that people are still buying homes and sellers are still selling homes if they have priced them correctly.

A short overview looks like this:

Avg DOM - 120 days

Avg list price - $202,000

% of active listings vs. last year - down about 8%

Largest selling segment - 1st time home buyers

Avg. prices are up almost 2% over last year

First time home buyers comprise about 40% of the market in Centre County and there are several great programs available to assist with downpayment and closing costs.

The bottom line is buyers and sellers and out there executing deals and the market is up over last year despite what you may read in the press. The Centre Daily Times won't sell as many papers if they tell us things are going well in the local market.

Energy issues are the dirty little fly in the ointment but we can't control them we can simply move forward as best we can.

The Centre County real estate market is alive and well (thanks Penn State) and you can give me a call at 814-280-0054 for assistance in buying or selling in State College and Centre County.
